Achilles Tendonitis
Are you suffering from heel pain that won’t go away? Or a constant tightness in the back of your leg? Well, you might be suffering from Achilles tendonitis! This condition is caused by the inflammation of the Achilles tendon. It can be seen in anyone but is more common in runners, athletes, weekend warriors, and anyone who’s on their feet for a long time.
Symptoms to Look Out For!
- Pain/stiffness in the back of the heel, which gets worse in the mornings or after activity.
- Swelling or thickening above the heel.
- Tenderness to touch
- Tight calf muscles
